Despite it not necessarily translating to wins this season, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster is one that plays together like a brotherhood when they’re on the field. Regardless of the circumstances, they’ve proven to have each other’s back through thick and thin and that has been crystal clear, especially since their playoff run last season.

There was one under-the-radar play in Week 13’s game in particular where the Jags’ willingness to look out for each other was showcased by the receiving corps. On the crucial third-down Cody Kessler converted to Dede Westbrook late in the third quarter, the young receiver was fighting for some extra yardage after he was tackled, however, two more Colts defenders were looking to lay the lumber on him. Thankfully, Keelan Cole, who was nearby, saw the potential results for his teammate and made a heady play to get him down on the ground.

Westbrook explained it all on his Twitter account Monday morning and stated that he and Cole joked about the situation after Sunday’s victory.

Cole call me last night and said, “Dede, I had to help you go down because the Calvary was coming and you were about to get f****d up” 😂😂 https://t.co/9llT5lsSZs

When considering the Jags’ luck with injuries and Westbrook’s value to the team, Cole’s heady move looks even more brilliant in hindsight. With another divisional game coming up this week against the Tennessee Titans, the duo will once again need to look out for each other as they attempt to keep fighting towards a record of .500.
